February 24 street date. The two full-length records that Jeff Mangum made as Neutral Milk Hotel sound both in and out of time. Like translations of a shared subconscious, 1996's "On Avery Island" and 1998's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" give voice to the perennial spirit of youthful epiphany, of beginning to see the world clearly, to process and express it - no matter when you encounter them. With lo-fi indie rock, accordion, singing saw, tape collages, the so-called "zanzithophone" and beyond, Neutral Milk Hotel created an eternal entry into their Elephant 6 scene and an enduring feeling of possibility. For all the mythology Mangum's elusive persona has accrued, it's the beguiling songs themselves that have resonated so deeply for generations.
In 2011, Mangum collected nearly all of the band's recorded output in a limited-edition box set (self-released under Neutral Milk Hotel Records, a small operation helmed by Mangum and his mother) which is now being updated for wide reissue by the band's longtime label Merge Records.
